Toorani v Toorani [2019] JRC 058 (04 April 2019)

Leave to appeal was refused because the Court found no real prospect of success on either ground advanced: the Court had considered the cumulative effect of non-disclosures, and the principles applied to the release of monies were correct given the proprietary claim. Costs were awarded to the Plaintiffs at 85% to reflect a material but non-decisive non-disclosure.

Procedural Posture

Civil / Application for Leave to Appeal and Costs Determination

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether leave to appeal should be granted against the dismissal of the application to set aside interim injunctions and for release of monies for legal fees
  2. 2 Whether the Court erred in considering non-disclosures individually rather than cumulatively
  3. 3 Whether the Court applied the correct principles regarding release of monies subject to proprietary claims

Ratio Decidendi

Leave to appeal was refused because the Court found no real prospect of success on either ground advanced: the Court had considered the cumulative effect of non-disclosures, and the principles applied to the release of monies were correct given the proprietary claim. Costs were awarded to the Plaintiffs at 85% to reflect a material but non-decisive non-disclosure.

Court Disposition

Leave to appeal refused; costs awarded to Plaintiffs at 85% with interim payment ordered.

Orders

  • Leave to appeal refused.
